KAITAIA: In the middle of Winter

Yesterday I picked up the magazine  called LIVING WELL at our local Pharmacy and I am looking at the article called “Beat the Winter Blues” in the Autumn/Winter 2015 issue. Eight ways are mentioned to beat the winter blues.

One way to beat the blues is to “connect with friends and family,” especially when we are feeling flat. The face-to-face contact is emphasized. This morning on my way to town to buy the local paper I cannot remember with how many people I had a very brief conversation. I entered also one of the coffee shops in town for a cup of coffee. There is a really good coffee shop here in Kaitaia called TOWN & COUNTRY FOOD right in the middle of town.

As follower of the Lord Jesus Christ I am reminded of my contact with the Living God. This morning I did not only read the Bible, but I read also what it says for today in a devotional book. And prayer is talking with Jesus. We can pray everywhere and always. Read First Timothy 2:8 and Luke 18:1.

If connecting with people and having contact with them is so powerful how much more powerful is our contact with the Living God, who created us?
